Welcome to the first installment of the Redlands GIS News. In these communiqués the City will not only outline how GIS technology is currently being utilized within the City, but also provide status on current implementations and identification of future plans for extending GIS throughout the enterprise.
The focus of this initial edition will be to provide a brief overview of the GIS products currently available within the City and to summarize the current GIS projects staff is working on.
EXISTING GIS CAPABILITY
City Website
The City currently utilizes ArcIMS to provide many products through the City GIS website which is at http://gis.cityofredlands.org. The departments supported and some of the data provided include the following:
Municipal Utilities
Capital Improvement projects, Water System, Storm Network, Sidewalk Survey, Traffic Sign and Signal inventory
Police
Incidents, Arrestees, Collisions, Citations.
Redevelopment
Businesses, RDA & CDBG boundaries
Fire / EOC
Fire Demand Zones, High Fire Hazard Areas, HAZMAT locations, Response zones
Quality of Life
City owned trees, groves, street network, parks, trails, solid waste areas
Community Development
Zoning, General Plan, FEMA Flood Plain
Other support
GIS also provides data to the City’s new One Stop Permit Center, supports other ongoing services such as map generation, and supports applications such as CrimeView, GeoNotify, Veritracks, and provides data to the Police Department’s Crime Analysis Unit.
CURRENT MAJOR PROJECTS
CityWorks (Azteca) – This is a new project at the City to provide a common map-based Work Order solution to the enterprise. It is anticipated to be rolled out first to the Quality of Life and Municipal Utilities and Engineering departments.
CAD system upgrade (Spillman) – The Police Department will be utilizing a new ArcGIS Server addressing system to support dispatch. This will facilitate new created and mapped addresses to immediately show up in the PD’s addressing system.
WebEOC (ESi) – This system provides an electronic method for data entry and dissemination within the City’s EOC to better communicate during an incident. These electronic boards will replace the current use of white boards currently around the EOC.
IN SUMMARY
We look forward to communicating on our progress utilizing GIS technology within the City of Redlands on a regular basis in the future. We hope that this provides a window into how the City of Redlands plans to use technology to better serve not only the city staff, but the residents and visitors to Redlands. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
